Aquincum - Ruins

The ruins surrounding the museum provide an impression of the Roman civil town, some 400 by 600m/440 by 660yds in area, which was laid out in accordance with a detailed plan; as well as numerous and generally one-storied private houses it boasted several large bathing establishments, a market-hall, a Mithras shrine and a basilica (probably formerly the "forum").

The provision of water and sewerage systems (water-pipes, disposal pipes and heating installations) will prove of interest to the layman as well as to specialists.

When the Szentendrei út (a broad arterial road leading to the township of Szentendre) was being constructed an aqueduct came to light. Some sections of it can still be seen at the side of the road or in the central reservation between the traffic lanes.
